Whimsical, Book-Themed Baby Shower Invitations

I’m a sucker for a book-themed invitation, and these custom baby shower invitations by Moira Design Studio are so very sweet. The book-themed invites feature whimsical hand lettering and hand drawn illustrations, along with colorful touches of watercolor that bring color and depth to this darling ensemble.

What better way to set the tone for a book-themed baby shower than by sending the invitations in a book! I knew I wanted to include illustrations and artwork, as well as hand lettering, and I also knew I wanted to think of an interesting method of shipping.

I ordered an antique set of children’s classics from eBay (the same set my mom has as a little girl), and I tucked the invitation sets into the books, wrapped them in brown paper, and into the post they went. The suites themselves included the invitation, reply card, a bookplate, and a request to have the guests bring their favorite book to start baby Claire’s library. I also included a bookmark so people knew to open the book when they got it in the mail.
